Vehicles suddenly display "Stop Safely Now" warnings, lose power, and shut down completely while driving, sometimes at highway speed.
The high voltage battery junction box or Battery Energy Control Module (BECM) triggers fault codes and stops the car from starting or shifting into gear.
The 12V battery repeatedly drains, leaving the car unable to boot or move, with multiple unclear error messages instead of a low-battery alert.
Warning lights for stability track, traction control, and pre-collision systems illuminate together, sometimes at very low mileage.
The tailgate has opened on its own without warning, in one case narrowly missing a bystander and in another striking a garage door.
The collision sensor has failed to alert drivers to nearby vehicles during low-speed parking maneuvers, leading to a crash.
